With my fourth boy I took lydia Pinkham! So it didn't work for me!!
Note to all - if ever I miss a post, please bump it up or PM me to let me know that I missed it. I try to answer every question that comes along but obviously I miss some here and there.
To answer the question, I believe (after watching several dozen people take it) that vitex works best when taken from AF-O. Herbalists tell people to take it every day for several months, but I've found that it acts as a birth control pill when you take it every day and actually prevents ovulation in a lot of people.
Lydia Pinkham has some scary sh-- in it (the cohoshes) that I think people are just better to do without.
It's probably better, but tackling a lot of projects like, finding a farmer that sells raw milk, procuring said milk, and then skimming the fat off, probably raises testosterone more than you lower it by eliminating the fat and vitamin D. Your body WILL make testosterone out of anything if it thinks you need testosterone, so you have to work on changing your lifestyle factors as well as diet. Please read http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...ply-and-Demand for a more indepth explanation.
Holy crap that is awesome!!!! I have found that diet and testosterone are my biggest nasties in TTC a girl. BUT I am tackling them head on. I have lost 3 lbs since Monday and a little muscle mass from what my Tanita tells me. So that is good. I will add that with my other boys I was lifting weights and putting on muscle when ttc them...interesting!!!! THANK YOU
Interesting info.
I've actually been thinking that maybe the reason I haven't been able to conceive was cause I increased my T levels too much.
I used to be so fertile, falling pregnant first time every time ( except for my DS he took 6 months of ttc)
A friend of mine had trouble falling pregnant and got some blood tests and it turned out her T levels were too high and were messing with her other hormones.
Has your cycle changed and are you having any weird symptoms of high T??
I'd just like to query the point;
*Less sex - The less sex you have, the less testosterone you will produce. This is true for both women and men.
How does this fit in with lowering the sperm count for ttc a girl? :wink:
